Summary: "Maintained schools have obligations under section 78 of the Education Act (2002) which requires schools, as part of a broad and balanced curriculum, to promote the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and hysical development of pupils at the school and of society"
"This report therefore presents the considered response of subject specialists to the current state of our subject, our analysis of how it has developed its current strengths and weakniesses, and our recommendations for how it should develop in the future. This report represents the first stage in what we hope will be a longer-term project of curriculum development. We aim eventually to develop a detailed model for history provision at 14-19; the review of the 14-19 curriculum carried out by Mike Tomlinson encourages the hope that there will be scope for such curriculum development in the near future." - Preface
The National Curriculum for pupils aged five to 11 is set out in the handbook for primary teachers, for pupils aged 11 to 16 is in the handbook for secondary teachers
